I had a similar experience with a buck about 10 years ago. Only difference was I had snow, which saved the day. Ended up being a liver hit. No blood after last bed but was found dead in a hide away with 80 yards of that last bed. The multiple beds lead me to believe you hit him fatally. Of...

I had a doe with twins in spots weekend after Thanksgiving a few years ago. Never saw them again after real cold and snow came.

RFK is on record as saying that. I think it's hard to say who he will take more votes from. ew informed hardcore Dems will vote for him given his position on covid. Some who don't have a clue or don't want to vote for Biden may see the Kennedy name and vote for him. As soon as he announced...

As a guy that anymore hunts public more than private I'd be apposed. Mainly due to increased pressure. I'm in favor of one buck tag for all and by all I mean ALL.

I share the same concerns. Not just about hunting. Not that I wouldn't have let my kids shoot a bruiser when they were young. Any such chance they would have got would have been pure luck and they understood that. Some of my friends kids do not know or appreciate how good they have it. If they...

Trying not to be long winded... For the record I maintain my staus as an independent. I have attended both R and D caucuses. Depending on which party the individual candidate I'm interested in is part of. My politics are complicated. I believe in personal freedom and accountability. I also...

There is not one person running that I will feel good about voting for. I will NOT vote for either of the 2 in question here.

I assume you'll be bow hunting. If you want to stick with semi auto 10mm is the only thing anyone who knows the subject gives any credence too. If I was buying a hand gun specifically for bears it would likely be a 10MM but I would really rather have something like a Taurus Raging Bull .44...

I don't see what the big deal is. Unless you're scared of what the study is going to show. Would you rather have to take your deer to a check station?

I don't trust Vivek any father then I can throw him. Finance and hedge funds. Engineering money. Buy an already failed drug, hype it up for investment, then walk away unscathed when it goes south and others lose their ass. His campaign is the same thing. At best he has a hope Trump picks him for...

Trumps hold on the "base" is to strong. Every poll has Trumps lead growing over the whole field. Trump beats DeSantis even in Florida. There's a reason Desantis hasn't committed yet.

None of the above. DeSantis hasn't committed yet and if he's smart he won't. No one worth having will. No one can get down in the mud with Trump and win the nomination. Unless something really big and unexpected happens Trump has the nomination.

I voted need to think about it. Just skimmed through the responses. Some interesting takes. There would be no need to think about going to 1 buck tag if we weren't doing everything possible to ruin what was once a good thing. I don't really worry about Iowa's "trophy" status as much as I do...

I'll chime in from the other side and say I personally like the time change. As far as hunting goes I like getting things going earlier and I like being home in time for dinner and time with Family or friends. I also like that if I'm trying to get out for a hunt after work it means I need to...

WOW! That's AWESOME! I think you're the one that needs to do a post.

It was a great first trip to AK. Only thing missing was a dead moose. Saw moose everyday but one but only one bull was legal and we never could get close. I'll do a post about it at some point.

I went to AK this past September as well. On the way up we flew Delta out of Moline. I have a Pelican Vault double gun case. It's big. I removed some of the foam layers and had that thing stuffed to the 50 pound limit. Besides rifle and ammo I had all my blades, trexxing pulls, small saw and...

Another 100K hunters in Iowa? Not going to happen. IF it did it would be a big problem and opportunity would have to be restricted rifles or no. I surely wouldn't want that many hunters running around with center fires. It negates nothing. Dead deer are dead deer no matter what season they...

The fact is when you increase hunter effectiveness you will have to reduce hunter opportunity if you want to maintain the herd quantity/quality status quo. You have said as much yourself. You may be alright with that. I'm not. Plus it is most likely that the legislature will do nothing to...

Think I do. My kids gun doesn't like them. Let me check tonight and I'll get back to you. Would only be a couple boxes.
